She is due to appear in Southeast Justice Court next week.

A 25-year-old Danbury, CT woman is facing a drunken driving charge after a recent traffic stop in Southeast, police say.

State troopers from the East Fishkill barracks arrested Diana Kobas at about 11:20 p.m. Friday. Officials stopped her because she was reportedly traveling at 72 mph in a 55-mph zone on westbound Interstate 84. 

Police say the defendant's blood-alcohol level was 0.11 percent. The legal limit is 0.08. They charged Kobas with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and released her pending an appearance in Southeast Justice Court Tuesday.
